"Location, is excellent. The maids excellent. Extra's left without having to be asked for and the children's mess tidied to one spot despite best endeavours to the contrary!

A summary of typical guests' reviews:
"Loved the decor of the whole hotel, very funky. The staff were very polite and very nice. The bars were full of life and lots of fun. Just fab!!! All in all I would stay there again."
"A great hotel stay. Stylish, hip and trendy, yet comfortable. Rooms are small, but that's normal for New York City. Regardless, you spend your extra hours down on the lobby level in the cozy library or the guber-trendy bar or the outdoor garden. Free purple pool table in the library is a plus. Great location a half-block away from Columbus Circle and Central Park. Highly recommended for 20 and 30 somethings."
"Extremely funky hotel. The interior design is worth a visit alone. The Hudson bar is one of the hippest in NY at the moment and the lobby area is like a night club 24-7. Very cool. Besides the room rate which is fair everything else is rather pricey. But definitely worth a stay."
"Hudson Hotel is hip and fun. The main lobby is striking, and my brief encounters with staff were pleasant. The room was immaculate, efficiently laid out, and comfortable. The hotel's location is very good. The entrance is a bit tricky; there is no sign, and one must maneuver through some doors and up an escalator to the lobby. This can be difficult with luggage. Or should there have been porters to help? Overall, I enjoyed my brief stay and would return to the Hudson."

Single, double & twin rooms: 100 - 170 dollars

"I was very pleased at Paramount Hotel."
"Superb location in the heart of Times Square. This is a very stylish and hip hotel. I arranged a trip to NYC with my wife and a friend of ours and did not tell them where we were staying. Needless to say they were blown away by how nice and fashionably hip our hotel was. Of course, the price we paid via this website was also a steal. Please be aware that the rooms are very small but this is typical for New York...its like this in paris too. because of the area and the hip factor I'd go again!"
"The Paramount is a fun-spirited place to stay in NYC. The crisp minimalism is just as described in the literature and Phillipe Starck's imaginative designs evident throughout. The staff were helpful, competent and efficient. Conveniently located on the same block as four theatres, short jaunts to entertainment and noshing are easy to negotiate even in a blizzard, which we unexpectedly encountered! I highly recommend this hotel and hope to enjoy another stay."

The funky music in the foyer and the modern furniture, all contributed to a memorable stay. Highly recommend, even though the room was quite small. When you are in New York though, how long do you spend in your room?"
"Very chic, if a bit older, hotel. Friendly staff, good location for midtown. Concierge was very helpful in helping us determine great restaurants. Rooms are small, but cozy. Would definitely stay again."
